Mexican Official Drops Rhetorical Bomb on Caravan

The mayor of Mexico’s sixth-largest city has harsh words for increasing numbers of caravan migrants that have flooded his community, echoing the opinions of many. 

The Daily Caller’s Will Racke reports:
 

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum said Thursday that caravan migrants arriving by the hundreds are no longer welcome, an increasingly common sentiment among residents of the Mexican border city.

Gastelum described the caravan of Central American migrants as a “horde” that has been infiltrated by criminals who now threaten the community, in an interview with Milenio Television.

“Tijuana is a city of immigrants, but we don’t want them in this way,” the mayor, a member of the conservative National Action Party, said. “It was different with the Haitians, they carried papers, they were in order. It wasn’t a horde, pardon the expression.”

Gastelum called on the Mexican government to deport the caravan migrants as soon as possible.

In a rebuttal to progressives, Gastelum said: “human rights are for law-abiding humans.”
